Yeah!

Very creative and cool too!
dont hurry on the mods though and take your time, it might turn out to be a real showstopper.

Keep up the creativity

Re: Rear engine Celica project

Looks like its off to a running start. This is a great idea. Have you thought about shortening the wheelbase? if you cut out some of the space between the door and the rear wheel arch, you could make it less obvious how far forward the cockpit is, especially in what looks is going to be a two seater. Are you going to do the entire back end from scratch? You could use a Modena, or a Boxster for the nice little bubbles behind the seats, and the glass over the engine (or perhaps the Mythos? I am not familiar with that car). Wow, what a cool build. This is a fantastic idea! I can't wait to see what you do with it. And like bigfrit says, don't hurry. Patience will be key in something this ambitious. Don't rush, because something that isn't right from the start will just frustrate you until you fix it and make the whole thing even more difficult. Wow. Can't wait to see this shape up!!

Re: Rear engine Celica project

Very imaginative! If shortening the wheelbase doesnt appeal to you, you may want to consider just making it a four seater, if there's enough room. Keep us posted on the progress.
